After two years of complete dominance I submit to you that the Wii may not be a fad (pats self on the back).

Actually compared to others they don't seems so bad:

Remember: Most analysts thought people would buy game consoles as multimedia hubs, which the Wii isn't. Months of record sales are forcing analysts to really look at what's going on in the game industry.

There is no such thing as a console war. This is the first step to game design.

I'd guess...

USA, Canada, Mexico, UK, France, Germany, Japan, Australia are consistently over a $1,000,000,000 now.

Some combination of South Korea/Spain/Italy/Netherlands/India/China probably see peak years over a $ billion but then will decline a big in the natural ebb-flow of the console cycle.

Took the "professionals" 2 years to figure out something which was obvious before it all even began; now let's see when the developers wake up...
